OK, I did that, and also made the change to tulip.c ~line 2742 you
mentioned yesterday (changing dev_free_skb() called to
dev_kfree_skb_irq() to get rid of the bazillion syslog messages).  All
seems to be happy, but then again I've only been using it for the past
10 minutes or so.  :)

Again, this is done with tulip.c:v0.92w 7/9/2001 and kern_compat.h
$Revision: 1.8 $ $Date: 2001/05/18 22:51:18 $ and tulip.o is being used
with a good ol' LinkSys LNE100 (version 4).
